Also a legend: Article 5 Compromise Amendment contains a baseline public
domain safeguard.

Dear All,
since we got hold of the voting list for the copyright vote, we prepared
recommendations that I sent to over 20 MEPs in JURI that we hope will vote
against the most damaging proposals (including article 13) and in favour of
the good ideas on exceptions.
We only give recommendations on articles: 3, 4, 5, 11, and 13 as well as
the exceptions: Freedom of Panorama (CAs 56 and 57) as well as User
extracts from pre-existing works and other subject matter in content
uploaded or made available by users (Cas 58 and 59) - so called User
Generated Content exception. For the remaining articles and corresponding
amendments we provide no specific recommendation as to the vote. In
summary, we present the following recommendations:
On *article 3* we recommend voting against CA 4 (and corresponding CAs in
recitals), instead we indicate specific amendments filed by members of JURI
that in our opinion define text and data mining exception better.
On *article 4* we recommend voting in favor of CA 6 (and corresponding
CAs 23 to CA 26)
On *article 5* we recommend voting in favor of CA 7 (and corresponding
CAs 27 to CA 30)
On *new exceptions (FoP, UGC)* we recommend voting in favor of CA 56 (and
CA 57) as well as CA 58 (and CA 59)
On *article 11* we recommend voting *against CA 12* (and corresponding
CAs) and *in favor of** CA 12bis* (and corresponding CA 20bis and CA
41bis) that are the alternative Compromise Amendments
On *article 13* we recommend voting *against CA 14* (and corresponding
CAs) and *in favor of** CA 14bis* (and corresponding CA 47bis to CA
50bis) that are the alternative Compromise Amendments. In case CA 14 is
adopted, we believe the negative consequence can be somehow mitigated by
voting in favor of CA 2.
Both IMCO 56 and AM 672 provide that the access gotten under one exception
may not be used to exercise rights gotten under another exception - we find
this approach harmful to the rights of users and legitimate uses of
lawfully accessed content. We recommended voting *against **IMCO 56 and
AM 672* as indicated in the document.
Let’s hope that the vote will be at least partially along our line on the
topic.
Best wishes,
Anna
